把这一句，留给此刻的你

But I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history, true or feigned, with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers.

但我从心底里不喜欢寓言的一切表现形式，而且自从我老了，对寓言的存在足够警惕以后，我就一直这样做。我更喜欢历史，不管是真实的还是虚构的，它对读者的思想和经历有着不同的适用性。
